Sex and Lucia engages mind and body with its time-bending narrative and images of beautiful Spaniards having vibrant sex. The story shifts between past and present, fact and fiction, so a plot summary won't capture it, but
A young writer named Lorenzo falls into a passionate relationship with a waitress named Lucía. But he also finds himself drawn to a young nanny taking care of a child who just might be the result of an anonymous fling Lorenzo had with a woman he met on an island the year before. Lorenzo fantasizes about the lives of all of these women until a horrific event sends him into a suicidal depression. This may sound obscure or flat, but Sex and Lucía unfolds clearly and beautifully, featuring stunning visual images of both nature and flesh, and weaving a poetic spell much like the director's previous film, The Lovers of the Arctic Circle. --Bret Fetzer
Customer Reviews:
the complications of a novel put into film- brilliantly done.......2007-09-06
most people watch this movie for the amazing intimate scenes, but the kicker is really the mind-bending way it tells the very human and emotionally charged story- complicated and artistic plot twists acted out on film rarely accomplished by any but hitchcock or krzysztof kieslowski, from a passionate female latin viewpoint. amazing. gorgeous. watch it completely alone or with someone who won't mind pausing for you to express your love for the film...
Okay.......2007-05-13
It definately kept your interest. Mainly because it was hard to follow and the story is so strange that you just had to see what was happening next.
Eroticatic-.......2007-01-10
A very romanic and very erotic movie. Paz Vega is one of the most beauitful actress to come along in years, and has moved into the mainstream of movie making. The story is a wondrous love story. I would recommend it for adults.
What is all about beyond intimacy?.......2006-07-19
This dramatic movie exposes many sex activities. Beyond all that, what is the message to send for the viewer? "Do you want to have wild sex with strangers?" Or "do you want to have intimacy sex with your lover?" With all the sex enjoyment, love and "blood" relationship is the final count after all. This is the destiny but not up to our choice. This is why Lorenzo falls into suicidal depression. This is why Lorenzo bursts into sorry tears to Comandrona. This is why Lucia rejects Tony's sex even there is a strong indication of sex enjoyment. Are these sex activities necessary? Let's look at it in different way. Can the movie have same visionary and emotional impacts without sex scenes? The answer is clear. Overall I enjoy this move very much, even have a shock for many days.
Not what I expected.......2006-07-05
In a word this movie was disappointing. It's supposed to be about beautiful Spaniards having sex on a magnificent Mediterranean island. Well there wasn't that much sex and the photography was nothing special. Add that to a plodding pace and poor plot and you don't get a very good film

Zombies and Porn .......2007-07-09
Erotic Nights of the Living Dead aka Sexy Nights of the Living Dead (if you get the uncut version). Came out in 1980 and was filmed back to back with many other Joe D'Amato (Aristide Massaccesi) classics like Porno Holocaust, Hard Sensations, and Porno Esotic Love. Erotic Nights of the Living Dead starred many Joe D'Amato originals (who are also all in the other three films above), Laura Gemser (Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals), George Eastman (Antropophagus), Dirce Funari (Unleashed Perversions of Emanuelle), Lucia Ramirez (Blue Paradise), and Mark Shannon (Emanuelle in the Country).
Joe D'Amato (Aristide Massaccesi) did the Cinematography as well for the film. The script was written by actor George Eastman. Erotic Nights of the Living Dead in my mind was a very good film. it had violence, blood, gore, sex, and hard core penetration scenes. This is a most have for any Joe D'Amato (Aristide Massaccesi) fan or any one who likes zombie movie movies.
Special features for Erotic Nights of the Living Dead include:
Uncut Uncensored XXX Footage Restored!
Erotic Sunny Afternoons of the Living Dead (Alternate Footage)
Production Stills and a HOT and Steamy Laura Gemser Gallery!
Original Theatrical Trailer for the Movie!
Plot Line of the Movie: A hotel developer purchases a cursed tropical island where he plans to erect a luxury resort. Arriving on the god-forsaken island he finds opposition in the worm infested, flesh eating, walking corpses as they begin to rise from their graves.
Did you know: Erotic Nights of the Living Dead is among the rarest of all zombie/cannibal/sex films. This Joe D'Amato masterwork is chock full of gore FX, steamy and graphic eroticism, and an apocalyptic cannibal-zombie flesh feast you won't forget!
Great film that has it all!!.......2007-05-13
This film has it all and i mean it all. Porn, gore, horror, what more do you want for entertainment. Great film.
sleazy zombie cheesefest.......2007-02-08
joe damatos erotic nights of the living dead is another one of those italian trashy exploitation zombie flicks that while quite enjoyable is still flawed. the film is about a hotel tycoon who wants to build a new hotel on a carribean island. the island just so happens to be filled with walking corpses who dont want their home to be used for the hotels. as you can probably guess by now, the hotel guy and his group soon fall prey to the zombies. erotic nights isnt all that bad if you enjoy cheesey italian films but everyone else should beware. the film is very cheesy and the acting, special effects, dubbing and overall look of the film is pretty low quality. also the film is pretty boring and dull until the final zombie attack at the end. leading up to that part we have an un-erotic hardcore sex scene and a few cheesy simulated scenes. if your patient through the tedious sex than you will enjoy the films zombie filled climax. a good film for fans of italian horror, just dont expect the best of the genre.
Laura Gemser fan.......2007-01-07
Would have given it a '5' except for the video quality. But Laura Gemser shows her assets and that is why I bought this!
Horror? More like "Horrible".......2006-09-01
Well I am a collector of zombie movies and I do own some real stinkers such as Zombie Lake, Revenge of the Dead, to name a few, but boy this one was a huge disappointement. All of the other reviews are true, it is so bad you will find yoursef hitting the chapter skip button. I knew not to expect much going into it, but I didn't think it would be this horrible. If you are looking for zombies, you will not find satisfactions here. There are a few scenes where you see these ultra lame zombie wannabes, very weak. If you get the unrated edition and want it for the porn you will find a lot, but you will find yourself getting tired of it quick. There are so many porn scenes that it seems they were just trying to add them in, made me lose interest in the movie immedeately as it got old. I would not recommend buying this. Buy something else and steer clear off of this one.

The worst movie I have ever seen.......2006-10-28
I was forced to give it a star but it does not deserve any. It is slow and boring, the only time you stop yawning is to turn into disgust. It is a waste of time and a shame for the good Colombian movie makers.
Impressive, unpleasant, but definitely worthwhile........2006-10-02
I am not sure how much of this film is autobiographical and how much is fiction. I do know that Fernando Vallejo, the novelist who wrote the novel "Our Lady of the Assassins" as well as this film's screenplay, is a reknowned Colombian author who, like the Fernando in this film, spent much of his life in voluntary exhile. (In the real Fernando's case, the exhile was in Mexico and Italy). In another series of novels Vallejo has written extensively about the difficulties of growing up gay in Colombia, so there is a possibility that in the novel and film versions of "Our Lady of the Assassins" we are getting glympses of his own life experience coming back to Medellin as a middle-aged man.
Both the film and the novel present a touching but in many ways distasteful romance between an affluent older man and an underaged hustler/hired killer from the Medellin underclass. Neither the film nor the novel pass judgment on the relationship, but both make the viewer/reader squirm. There is the obvious question of poor youth being exploited by an older man. Additionally, the older man is an unapologetic snob, a hedonistic social-darwinist whose contempt for the indigent around him reflects very poorly on the Colombian bourgeoisie. The younger man, beneath the angel face, is nihilistic and an apparently uncritical respository of crass international pop culture. The duo's comments about their lives and their meanderings through Medellin depict a very sick society--a portrait that is the thrust of Vallejo's novel.
Other commentors on this webpage suggest that they do not find the wanton violence in this film credible. Unfortunately, the press reports on life in Bogota and Medellin (particularly the latter, as one of the capitals of the cocaine cartels) bear out Vallejo's portrait. So, too, do the stories of many affluent Colombians who have emigrated to Miami in order to escape violence. And sadly, the literature and films about slum children from other large Latin American cities--Pixote (Sao Paulo), Los Olvidados (Mexico City), Amores Perros (Mexico City)--touch on similar themes [See the recent Colombian novel "Satan", by Moreno, which is a portrait of Bogota gone to hell]. This is an unpleasant, painful portrait--and we are seeing the portrait through the eyes of people who are alternatively sympathetic and horrible. But the portrait is probably realistic, as are our guides.
The deliberate use of unsophisticated cameras in this film add to the feeling of cinema verite and enhance the film's impact. All in all, this is an impressive undertaking, and the film goes beyond the novel in engendering dispair over the well-being of Colombia.
Gallow's Humor.......2006-09-28
Some films have a sadistic streak, and the director of "Our Lady of the Assassins" has shown his with this absurdly ghoulish film. I cannot believe that life in Colombia is this hellish. The story is interesting but is so outlandish. As another reviewer said, many of the random killings are spurred on my stupid insults and complaints about bad service. It is not credible to think a young man could gun down two men on a train in broad daylight and just waltz away nonchalantly.
As far as the acting is concerned, this was a one man show. The progatonist--the writer who's come home--is clever and played decently. The other characters serve as an audience to his quick wit and as the link between the civilized world (the writer) and the violent, savage one (the two boys he has a relationship with). As another reviewer wrote, the symbolism is really heavy handed and propelled this film quickly into the realm of total absurdity.
That being said, I did find it entertaining in a ghoulish sort of way.
Our Lady of the Assassins.......2006-09-21
If you enjoy independent films, you will certainly like this film. It is about life as a displaced youth of Columbia. Unlike the displaced youth of the U.S., they are on their own without any significant assistance. It is very sad, as this is an adaptation of the true story of Alexis. In the areas of the world where illegal drug producers force the disadvantaged youth into terrible life styles, there should be country mandated advocacy for the youth that are unwittingly manipulated.
Shockingly incompetant.......2006-05-25
Wow, this was honestly one of the worst movies I have ever seen. And this is coming from someone who loves small foreign flicks, whose favorite movie is the similarly-themed City of God. Our Lady of the Assassins may not be the worst movie I have ever seen, but it certainly the most incompetant. I can't stress enough how bad this movie is. I kept watching out of sheer wonder that anything could be this terrible. This film fails on so many levels that it is hard to list, but I'll give it a try:
First, the acting is gawd-awful. The actors are all unpofessionals, and it shows. They stiffly spout unconvincing dialogue; at every moment, we are aware that they are acting. Not once in the entire movie does it lose the feeling of a middle-school drama class. There is absolutely no romantic chemistry between the leads either; its almost painful to watch.
Oh, what next? How about the plot? Oh wait, there is no plot. The protagonists wander aimlessly throughout the city spouting nilihistic diologue that would have felt stale in Waiting for Godot, all the while shooting random people. That's it. The screenwriter mixes this bland existentialism with some of the most cheesy love lines ever set on film. Here's a sample: "What do you wish for?" "That we could be together forever!"
While the movie pounds its pretentious despair into your head, the incompetant direction undercuts this theme at every turn. The killing scenes are so poorly acted and coreographed that they become hilarious. The camara work is a dead ringer for a cheesy low-budget soap opera. Apparently the director is an industry veteran, which makes me feel like he must have this movie purposefully awful; but a bad movie is still a bad movie. Here's a tip: If you want us to buy into your grandiose existential themes on society, don't shoot yourself in the foot by filming a hilariously bad script with wooden actors and high school musical production values.

Joe D'Amato's gore epic!.......2007-07-30
This movie has everything an extreme horror fan could ask for!
Gore, gore, necrophelia, gore, cannibalism, gore, torture, gore, nudity and most importantly gore!
No, seriously though, this movie has style. It is a great story of man who loses his lover, and will not except the fact that she is no longer with him. So, what does he do? What anyone would do, dig up the body and make love to it! The depression and psychosis turns into a violent downward spiral of murder and necrophelia.
The special effects are amazing, using real entrails and intestines most of the time make it that much more realistic. Did I mention he is a professional taxidermist??!!!
The gore includes dismemberment, dissection, eye-gouging, finger-nail ripping and pretty much everything a gore-hound could ask for.
To any Italian horror buff that doesn't own this,
WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU WAITING FOR!
P.S. I forgot to mention this movie has music by the mighty GOBLIN! and it's some of their best work!
I don't know how I could forget such a thing.
You're special...really you are........2007-07-08
You owe it to yourself to see this film. It's very unique and abstract. It is controversial, yet it doesn't seem like it was made to be. It's a very odd film that will imbed it's self into your memory. If you're a fan of Italian Horror, then do yourself a favor and order this immediately.
One of the greatest!!.......2007-03-27
Before I go into my review I would like to state not to waste your money buying the Pyscho Killer 3 pack from Shriek Show that features this movie, Delirium, and House on The Edge of The park Why??? This movie is the stand out of the three, and you can probably score the movie alone by it's self for a cheap price.
I first seen the trailer for Beyond The Darkness on my Eaten Alive (Another Great Movie) DVD and I found it to be very intriguing, I jumped on Amazon to see what I could dig up on the movie, and I heard nothing but bad things about gem, so I decided to give it chance, and trust me this movie does not dissapoint, the one false claim I read was there is not enough gore, or blood in this movie FALSE!!!! This movie has all of that and then some, it starts off pretty light but then it just goes from one atrocity to another. If you are on the fence about purchasing this classic, do it you will not be dissapointed.
What's The Matter Frankie Baby ?.......2007-01-28
This movie is high up on my list of all time great horror movies.
It has everything: love, jealousy, revenge, sexuality, and ghosts
A lot of these Italian horror movies seem to borrow ideas from Psycho.
Like Norman Bates Frank is into taxidermy. This provides him with the necessary equipment for some of his other 'hobbies' including his own creamation unit.
He puts his taxidermy skills to good use when his wife passes away as a result of a curse by the leacherous housekeeper Iris.

a morbidly romantic gorefest.......2006-09-30
this film is very special to me. the reason is that it was one of the first italian horror films i'd seen. i had seen burial grounds, zombi 2 and eaten alive before i had seen this gem. at first i was kind of dissapointed, only because i was not expecting the kind of film that beyond the darkness is. its a grim, dark, sleazy, morbidly romantic gorefest. its the story of a rich taxydermist whos wife has died from a voodoo curse set upon her by the rich guys housekeeper iris out of jealuosy. horribly depresed, the man takes his wifes corpse from the cemetary and does what he does best. he removes her entrails, puts fake eyes in her sockets and drys her out, just as he would do to one of the animals he stuffs and sells, so he can have her forver. the rest of the film consists of thae man and his house keeper trying to keep the preserved corpse a secret. that means killing anyone who may jeoprodize their secret. this film would have got 5 stars if it moved a little faster. there are only a few gore seens and it takes a while to get to them. the film is kind of like a slasher movie on some parts, but then switches to pure depraved gore. the gore scenes in the film are as follows. the man taxiderming his wife is a real stomach churner. a chubby hich hiker has her finger nails riped off an his then chopped into peices and dissolved in a tub of acid. a jogger has a chunk of her neck bit out by the taxidermist and is then burned in a furnace while shes still alive. besides that theres your standard bloody violence. worth owning if your a euro horror fan.

Tinto Brass' All ladies do it .......2006-11-13
There is something about Tinto Brass films that separates them from the run of the mill soft-core movies. Ever since he directed Bob Guccione's Caligula in 1979, Brass films seems to push the envelope of acceptable, both visually and storywise. One only has to view the cover, showing leading lady's voluptuous @ss to realize that All Ladies do it is such a movie.
In addition, Brass films have more realistic in sets and cinematography than many American soft-core movies. Indeed most of the sets are real.
The Plot
Brass films seem to have a recurring theme. At least this and two other Brass movies I have seen (Cheeky and The Key) have had this theme - that women can and should have affairs on their husband or boyfriend. The story's theory is that jealousy makes the man more attentive, more sexually creative and he ultimately desires his partner more than if he could count on her fidelity. In other words Brass is proposing one half of an open marriage. One has to surmise since this premise appears in three (that I've seen) Brass movies that Brass subscribes to this supposition.
The Story
Diana, (Claudia Koll), is happily married to Paolo, (Paolo Lanza) but feels that something is missing in her life. She works in a lingerie store, who's owner is a leach and gropes her at every occasion. She resists his advances but her co-worker Antonnietta, (Isabella Deiana) occasionally accommodates the boss.
Diana is a beautiful woman who constantly garners a lot of male attention. From riding the bus to eating in restaurants, she is bombarded with amorous offers.
Then one night, her sister Nadia, (Ornella Marcucci), hosted a reading by an erotic poetess from Venice where she met a man, Alphonse (Franco Branciaroli) who excited her. Realizing her husband was glancing at her, she went to the restroom. Alphonse, followed her there and was in the process of seducing a willing Diana, but was interrupted when her husband knocked and called her name.
Not one to hide her sexuality, Diana used to tell Paolo about her sexual encounters and he would think she was making them up to excite him, which they would do. When Diana told him that Alphonse had her dress above her @ss and was ready to strump her, when he called her, he was sure it was a fabrication. He became aroused and they made love.
Later when Diana has a torrid affair with the Alphonse, Paolo finds out that it really happened and rejects Diana. But Diana will not back down because even though she is having sex with others she still loves her husband and doesn't think she is doing anything wrong.
(Being a man, I agree with Paolo. I'd be curious what the lady readers think.)

Conclusion
I enjoyed Claudia Koll, the leading lady in All Ladies Do It. Though in possession of a darling shape, she seemed to be more streamlined than the meaty leading ladies of Brass' older films.
Despite the pretentious title, All Ladies Do It is a lighthearted sometimes humorous movie. An example is the lingerie store where Diana works also employs an obviously gay salesman who likes to try on the lingerie.
As usual in a Tinto Brass film there are several shots of male and female genitalia. As in other Brass movies, I believe the male shots were fake.
The version I have reviewed is the special edition, unrated version, in Italian with English subtitles. Apparently there are other, highly edited versions in which viewers were seriously disappointed.
not as erotic as modern day films.......2006-03-24
I had a strong feeling that the sex scenes had been censored after watching this and from what I'm seeing in the other reviews other viewers have posted looks like my gut feeling was true - for all the claims this movie makes about being "erotica" and the "uncensored" Italian version, the truth is it's rather dull and boring in that movies like Wild Orchid, Monster's Ball and Basic Instinct all have far more passionate and inspiring sex scenes in comparison ... yes there's lots of nudity in this DVD but overall one is left with the impression that for something that labels itself "erotica" this is far too tame... definitely not recommended.
All ladies do it.......2004-12-30
This was one of the BEST Tinto Brass movie i`ve seen !!! and the others were GREAT also.liked the plot, the Star ( she was funny very cute , sexy !!!CLASS. Tinto knows how too film women. VIVA TINTO !!!!!
Just like other Tinto's...!!.......2004-09-12
I see studios overrated it over Tinto Brass other movies, that they made special edition. "All Ladies Do It" is quite good, but not the champion.. If you watch other Tinto's, then you know what I mean.
I guess this movie slightly inspired by Belle De Jour, about a wife selling her body for fun. Venice panorama as backgound is nice, but not as much as in "The Key".
I guess I prefer Tinto's short story like in "FALLO" and "P.O. BOX Tinto Brass".
Its o.k............2004-07-25
This is an o.k. flick. The lead actress is pretty hot, and t. brass is a decent director. the sexual content is soft. good but not in the same league with films like "the image" , 'Bois amoi' or "in the realm of the senses"

Sex and Lucia engages mind and body with its time-bending narrative and images of beautiful Spaniards having vibrant sex. The story shifts between past and present, fact and fiction, so a plot summary won't capture it, but
A young writer named Lorenzo falls into a passionate relationship with a waitress named Lucía. But he also finds himself drawn to a young nanny taking care of a child who just might be the result of an anonymous fling Lorenzo had with a woman he met on an island the year before. Lorenzo fantasizes about the lives of all of these women until a horrific event sends him into a suicidal depression. This may sound obscure or flat, but Sex and Lucía unfolds clearly and beautifully, featuring stunning visual images of both nature and flesh, and weaving a poetic spell much like the director's previous film, The Lovers of the Arctic Circle. --Bret Fetzer

the complications of a novel put into film- brilliantly done.......2007-09-06
most people watch this movie for the amazing intimate scenes, but the kicker is really the mind-bending way it tells the very human and emotionally charged story- complicated and artistic plot twists acted out on film rarely accomplished by any but hitchcock or krzysztof kieslowski, from a passionate female latin viewpoint. amazing. gorgeous. watch it completely alone or with someone who won't mind pausing for you to express your love for the film...
Okay.......2007-05-13
It definately kept your interest. Mainly because it was hard to follow and the story is so strange that you just had to see what was happening next.
Eroticatic-.......2007-01-10
A very romanic and very erotic movie. Paz Vega is one of the most beauitful actress to come along in years, and has moved into the mainstream of movie making. The story is a wondrous love story. I would recommend it for adults.
What is all about beyond intimacy?.......2006-07-19
This dramatic movie exposes many sex activities. Beyond all that, what is the message to send for the viewer? "Do you want to have wild sex with strangers?" Or "do you want to have intimacy sex with your lover?" With all the sex enjoyment, love and "blood" relationship is the final count after all. This is the destiny but not up to our choice. This is why Lorenzo falls into suicidal depression. This is why Lorenzo bursts into sorry tears to Comandrona. This is why Lucia rejects Tony's sex even there is a strong indication of sex enjoyment. Are these sex activities necessary? Let's look at it in different way. Can the movie have same visionary and emotional impacts without sex scenes? The answer is clear. Overall I enjoy this move very much, even have a shock for many days.
Not what I expected.......2006-07-05
In a word this movie was disappointing. It's supposed to be about beautiful Spaniards having sex on a magnificent Mediterranean island. Well there wasn't that much sex and the photography was nothing special. Add that to a plodding pace and poor plot and you don't get a very good film

Customer Reviews:
OK but not great nudie cutie.......2004-10-05
Dr. Sex is a pretty good nudie cutie type movie from the 60s. A bunch of psychiatrists (who obviously need psychiatric help themselves) discuss their unusual case histories of patients with unusual sex disorders. What follows is a bunch of outrageous episodes. Wanda was disappointing. The movie has a great beginning with a guy looking into the window of a curio shop at figurines of beautiful nude women in various poses. As the titles roll the figurines are replaced by real nude women in those poses. Unfortunately, the movie never lives up to the promise of that great beginning. Wanda and her live-in girlfriend are OK but not really hot looking babes who live in a big house with a big pool in southern California. Wanda has some hypnotic ability and the two women like to waylay men and then bring them back to the house and play mind games, etc. Eventually they release the victim unharmed when they grow bored. They capture a guy and then play around a while. Some friends come over and then join in the mind games. Wanda tells a hypnotized lesbian that she is a man-hungry nymphomaniac. She has a hypnotized Mary Kay Cosmetic lady perform a striptease, etc. An inmate from the local funny farm escapes and makes his way to the house where he releases the current victim and the two men then proceed to play some games of their own with the captured bunch of women. That's about it. It was OK but not as good as I expected. The Toy Box and the Godson were much better SMV DVDs.
Loads of Fun.......2004-02-23
After Kiss Me Quick, Dr. Sex is the best nudie cutie film I've seen. In Dr. Sex, a trio of sex therapists share humourous, Twilight Zone style stories about their patients. Unlike most nudie cutie films, there is a lot of genuinely funny storytelling amongst the cheesiness. Dr. Sex is also noteworthy for being the first film made by Ted Mikels.
The print is not great, but apparently there will never be a better one (Something Weird used the only known surviving print of the film), and it is still extremely watchable. The biggest problem is that a short section is missing from the third story (told by a serious, skeptical psychiatrist). The psychiatrist sets up the patient's problem, and his patient is shown putting his solution to practice, but part of the exposition between the two scenes in which the psychiatrist apparently recounts his advice is missing. This missing portion appears to be no more than 5 to 10 seconds, and is not essential to the story. Thankfully Something Weird has preserved the vast majority of this worthwhile film.
Wanda is not as strong (it plays like a second rate Harry Novak film) but is still an interesting historical curiosity. The DVD is rounded off by nudie cutie shorts of varying quality. "Jane on a Train", which I've already seen on another SW DVD, and which will be included on the Best of Burlesque DVD as well (someone must love it!) has some interesting special f/x, but my favourite is the extremely surreal "Handyman" which takes place at an apartment building straight out of a David Lynch film.
